Director ID – Deadline Date Fast Approaching
|
|
Any directors appointed under the Corporations Act 2001 may face serious penalties if they do not obtain a director ID by 30 November 2022 – this includes directors of a company,
|
registered Australian body, registered foreign company or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation.
|
It’s important that any Nominated Officers and Relevant Persons associated with a labour hire licence, Not for Profit or registered business meet their legal obligations.
|
|
How to apply for a director ID
|
- You will need a MygovID, with at least standard identity strength, to apply for your director ID – the Australian Taxation Office has more information on their website.
- Gather documents with personal information that the ATO has about you.
- Lodge your application online for a director ID using your MygovID.
Once you receive your director ID, you must pass it on to the company’s responsible record-holder. You must also pass it onto to the record-holder of subsequent companies you direct in the future.
|
|
What are the penalties for not having a director ID?
|
|
In 2022 ABRS announced four new offences for not having a Director ID under the Act.
|
|
Penalties can range up to $1,100,000 if existing directors do not have a director ID in place by 30 November 2022.
